Looking for any WESLE relations

My name is Christina Wesle & I'm pretty sure that I've tracked down my grandfather, Fred Conrad Wesle to have lived in Taylor Wis. maybe he was even born there... He later moved to Calif. & married Ann Marie South. I dont know much about them but am searching for ANY information on family ansestory and/or any relations to him (ME) to correspond with..Can anyone help me?

Re: Looking for any WESLE relations

I think I have the right families here. If so, then Fred's parents were Henry Wesle and Amanda Hoppe (not Hopper). They were married in Taylor County. Then Amanda's parents were Conrad Hoppe and Henrietta Zerstaedt. They were married in Sheboygan County.2 of Henry and Amanda's children show up in the birth index, but not Fred.

Fred was living in Bear Valley, San Bernardino County, California during the 1930 census. He was listed as divorced. Was he married before he married your grandmother? Maybe his 1st marriage was in Wisconsin?

Re: Looking for any WESLE relations

This might be Henry Wesle's family. If so, then Henry and his brother Herman (twins), seems to be the only 2 children of Anton and his first wife. Maybe she died during childbirth? By the 1870 census, Anton remarried Catherine, who seems to have had some of these children from a previous marriage.I lost track of Henry in the 1880 census, and then Anton and his family in the 1900 census.Henry and Herman's ages are off by 2 years in these census' from the 1900 census.

Re: Looking for any WESLE relations

Hi, I am so excited to hear from you. I am Betty's grandaughter. My father is the baby Betty gave up for adoption when she was 17 yrs old. Betty passed away this year, but I traveled to Arizona several times and met her, and we talked on the phone alot. I have some photos from her, I put some on ancestry, but I have others. I don't have too much information on Roberts family. Who is your husband? She wanted me to get in touch with someone in Green Bay, but I never did.Stacy
